Area forecast discussion, Aug 28, 6:14 PM CDT, 41 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
614 PM CDT Tue Aug 28 2018
.UPDATE...Will keep a close eye on Iowa convection as it heads
ENE towards northern IL. Still some shra/tsra moving through our
area but of the weaker variety relative to the earlier severe storms.
Our southern areas are still closer to some better air even
though many areas in the far south worked over by some light rain.
Flash Flood Watch still looks good for now given the remaining
high precipitable water values however the northwest counties may
be able to be cleared a little later.
PC
&&
.AVIATION(00Z TAFS)...Weak low across the area with many boundaries
making for a variable wind regime. Would expect to see some
MVFR/IFR cigs to redevelop ahead of the main cold frontal push
then during the day on Wednesday we should see an upward
transition in ceilings. Convective trends will be the main focus
with still potential for a few rounds of shra/tsra into the late
night hours, with the precip hanging on longest in the southeast
corner.
PC
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 319 PM CDT Tue Aug 28 2018)
SHORT TERM...
So while we still might get a few showers and thunderstorms across
south central WI this afternoon, the stronger storms are going to
develop just ahead of the surface front, roughly from La Crosse to
northeast WI near Menominee. This is associated with the currently
strong southwesterly flow aloft and steeper mid level lapse rates.
This convection is expected to organize into a broken line by late
afternoon and slide east, possibly clipping the MKX forecast area
(Marquette to Sheboygan County). The strongest forcing will
gradually slide southeast into the MKX forecast area late this
afternoon so either the central WI line will slide south or we
will see additional scattered thunderstorms develop (per the
latest HRRR). We will continue to see rounds of thunderstorms
until just after midnight until the 850mb front gets through
southeast WI.
With the strong instability and shear over southern WI today,
large hail and damaging winds are threats. Tornadoes that develop
along the leading edge of bowing line segments are possible given
strong 0-3km bulk shear. The storm motion will be east-northeast
which is almost parallel to the front, thus the heavy rain and
flash flood threat due to likelihood of training thunderstorms. A
severe thunderstorm watch was just issued.
LONG TERM...
Wednesday and Thursday... Forecast confidence is High.
Low clouds and maybe some drizzle will linger across southeast WI
Wed morning until the upper trough can swing through. Highs will
only be around 70 with lower humidity and dewpoints.
High pressure and clear skies with plenty of lingering moisture is
a good setup for dense fog Wednesday night. Lows will be in the
lower 50s.
Thursday will be quiet. Return flow around the high will warm our
temps into the lower/mid 70s.
Labor Day Weekend... Forecast confidence is Medium.
A weak upper wave will slide northeast Thu nt into Friday. As it
approaches WI, expect scattered showers and thunderstorms on
Friday and/or Friday night into Saturday morning. Models are
showing a weakening trend to the forcing/showers for Friday.
Precip may linger into Saturday afternoon, but Saturday night
looks quiet. Sunday weather is looking quiet with warming temps.
Thunderstorms might be possible Sunday evening with a weak
disturbance.
Thunderstorm chances return Monday, but the synoptic setup and
reasons for storms are varied between the models, thus there is
still uncertainty.
Tuesday... Forecast confidence is Low.
The middle of next week looks unsettled with periods of
thunderstorms.
AVIATION(21Z TAFS)...
MVFR ceilings will persist through late afternoon. We should see
some improvement in ceilings, but there will still be a few MVFR
cloud bases around given our very moist environment. Thunderstorms
are developing. They may be severe with wind and hail and will
also have high rainfall rates. A tornado is possible.
Thunder should taper off after midnight, but showers and isolated
thunderstorms may linger until after sunrise Wed morning. MVFR
ceilings behind the storms overnight into Wed morning will
gradually rise to VFR by early afternoon.
MARINE...
The small craft advisory continues through 7 pm and may need to be
extended. Severe thunderstorms are possible this evening with
winds and hail and even waterspouts.
